Dear patients and caregivers,

 

Talking about stressful, emotional, or deeply personal topics can be difficult—especially for children and adolescents. It often becomes easier when patients can express themselves in the language that feels most natural to them.

 

As I am half British and grew up bilingual, I am happy to offer child and adolescent psychiatric consultations in English. This can be especially helpful for English-speaking children, teenagers, and families who feel more comfortable discussing their thoughts, feelings, worries, and experiences in English.

On a personal note, I also simply enjoy speaking English and am always glad for the opportunity to keep this part of myself alive in my everyday work.

 

 

My aim is to create a setting in which patients feel understood and able to communicate openly. For some, that means using their primary language; for others, it may simply mean choosing the language in which they can best describe what they are going through.
